Masculine Items

[disneygirl]

I need some ideas ladies. I need a masculine idea of something quick and easy to make for my dad. You know the one who has everything and is hard to buy for. I've made my mom a couple of things and I know he likes to get homemade things too. I'm sure there's something simple to do and I'm just over thinking right now. Any suggestions? TIA!

Does he play golf? You could make him a tee holder that resembles a matchbook.kwim??

What about food? All guys I know love food and sometimes it's nice to get a couple of frozen things that you could eat for lunch or dinner on a busy day when you're mom isn't around to cook. (Or if he's the main one who cooks and he's too busy). You could wrap it up and make some cute stamped instructions or stamp the recipe. My dad also LOVE pictures so I've made him a brag book before - even a small match book size would probably go over well. Cards might even work - give him cards similar to the ones he usually gives that he can use for birthdays/anniversaries throughout the year. (If he actually gives cards at all).

Hope that helps!

Do you have kids? I know my father ALWAYS loved pictures of his grandchildren. A little "compilation" of sorts of all his grandkids in one book would be fun.

I alway have a hard time making something for men in my life.

this year I made Coffee Baskets filled with Coffee Samples, Coffee mug, and biscotti in different flavors.

And for the Oldest Nephew I made Pop corn basket (really it is a Plastic Tub) I purhcased about 4 different types of Popcorn and added some Hot chocolate mixes.
I added Shredded Colored paper and then added the pop corn and chocolate mix and wrapped it up. Made a card for him too.
The plastic tub he can re-use after all the food is gone.

Thanks ladies for the great ideas. I like the golf tee idea and plan to do that for my husband. I think I'm going to go with the food idea for my dad. Thanks again!
